Just shows how much we rely on Shwerwin doesen't it? Maybe we need another forward who can deliver goals too. Another throw away for us, we cannot afford to throw away games we are perfectly capable of winning. in my opinion Ricardo is NOT good enough and does not show the commitment or the strength needed, why didn't we play sean clarke on the left like on saturday? Why does Elvis Ballic never play? He should be playing in a league at least one higher than this one. Great game for Jimmy and Jack Coombes so WHY take Coombes off when he is one of the few putting in their all and winning balls? First half we over powered Romford with strong tackles and we played football, i felt it was bad luck to go in at half time without a goal. Second half we played it all in the air, just hitting and hoping for a break. How can the forwards get hold of the ball and start playing it around? We don't use Deniz enough, he has the potential to open up whole teams and set up goals but we rarely play it down the wings, instead just choosing to hoof it up the field! Sort it out Kevin, get the players fired up for games and actually playing football along the ground and thinking about what their doing!

Yes we did miss Sherwin even if he doesn't score he keeps defence's busy, this was the difference between us and Romford , Tonight we missed Chris Green who is still nursing the elbow in the head he copped on saturday , You cant take anything away from Romford That second goal was a cracker from a good 25-30 yards out , We just put in to little too late ,Romford's chances went in ours didn't . Jack was taken off because he got a knock and Danny Jones going off with a cut eye didn't help either ,I think you are a bit harsh on Rick Armardo ,He did set up Wes's goal and also Chris Thomas just after , I think Chris would be disappointed that he skyed it a mile over .

ok, he has occasional good spells but i cannot see any consistency which is what we desperately need coming to the end of the season along with more strength , i think we have better players in the squad who could fill the spot in my opinion.

Romford 2-1 Enfield .....With Romford very much in form This game was always going to be difficult without the suspended Sherwin Stanley,Adilson Lopes and crocked Chris Green .

A very quiet opening to the game with nieither side able to take control , Paul Oshin felt a bad tackle from Lee Cornhill on 6 mins but the Referee only gave out a mild lecture . The first chance fell to Danny Jones as he met Deniz Mehmet's cross but he nudged it narrowly wide on 11 mins. Dave Parkinson was put through but Neil Finn was alert enough to hoof the ball clear 16 mins . Paul Oshin's freekick was tee'd up for Ricardo Armado but his shot clipped the outside of Romford's post with Neil Finn well beaten 18 mins . Romford's first clear opportunity fell to Martin Heed but Steve Wright was well behind his effort 23 mins , A cross from Manzi Mbala looked promising for Romford but Bradley Jones misses the ball 27 mins. Jack Coomes was booked for a foul 31 mins. Slightley against the run of play Romford went ahead as Paul Clayton's freekick was partially cleared but Bradley Jones from the edge of the box caught Steve Wright off his line with a mishit shot which looped over the E's keeper 1-0 Romford 33 mins. For the rest of the half E's had a lot of terratorial possesion but Only Danny Jones had any sort of opportunity as he swept Deniz Mehmet's through ball inches wide 41 mins . H/T

E's began the second half reasonably well with Ricardo Armado's shot being deflected wide ,Danny Jones slips a ball through to Dave Parkinson but again Neil Finn was out quickly to claim the ball . Dave Parkinson gets through Romford's rearguard but his shot went disappointingly off target 51 mins.(Romford sub Ricky Mackin on for Martin Heed 53 mins) Romford finally get through E's offside trap and Steve Wright saves brilliantly from Manzi Mbala on 56 mins . Romford increased their lead on 57 mins with a 30 yard piledriver out of the blue from Ricky Mackin which went like a guided missile past a surprised Steve Wright,2-0 Romford . (E's sub Neil Hughes on for Jack Coomes 60 mins) It could have got much worse for E's as Steve Wright saves well from Bradley Jones 64 mins. (E's sub Sean Clarke on for the heavily bloodied Danny Jones 65 mins) A shot by Sean Clarke was blocked by Lee White 74 mins. Romford's Bobby Port was booked for a hack at Ricardo Armado 77 mins. E's evening was pretty much summed up as Wes Borghys's goalbound drive hit Chris Thomas and rolled behind 81 mins. A good try again by Romford's Ricky Mackin but Steve Wright was well positioned to make the save 84 mins. A booking for Manzi Mbala as he clipped Ricardo Armado's heels 89 mins On 90 mins Ricardo Armado's corner is cleared and falls to Wes Borghys who curls a great shot over the stranded Neil Finn 2-1 Romford . (Jerry Lyons replaces Ade Onileyan 92 mins for Romford) E's had one final chance as Dave Parkinson crosses but Chris Thomas with the goal gaping somehow manages to spoon it over the bar .

A bit past your bed time Isn't it Jamie ? Ricardo isn't the only member of the squad that has bad spells ,there are others besides him . But I wont name names . I did speak to kevin after saturdays game and I commented on how many chances go over the top and he and Kevin Hand are both frustrated at the players concerned ,At training they hardly ever miss, but on matchdays they miss time and again . Kevin is trying to get them to keep the ball down,
